This is the Local Recording configuration window:

There are a variety of options to consider when configuring your local recording settings:

Codec: Depending on your hardware, you can either use the standard X.264 codec (which uses more CPU) or a variety of hardware codecs (NVIDIA’s NVENC, AMD’s VCE, Intel’s QuickSync, Avermedia’s H.264) that have a lower CPU cost.

Quality: The higher the quality, the larger the file size and higher CPU usage for X.264.
